“I’m incredibly proud of the lads. Coming to City is always a daunting challenge, one that tests every aspect of your game. Today, we showed a bit of everything—discipline, hard work, and quality football. Our style of play made the difference.
“It was an outstanding performance. You have to be clinical against a team like City because they don’t allow many chances. I was impressed by the calmness and maturity we showed in handling the ball. Against City, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and stop playing your game, but we stayed composed and played our way.
“They test you in every way—mentally, physically, and tactically. While we’ve had some inconsistent moments this season, we’re a much better team than last year. Now, it’s about finding that consistency.”
